Implement solutions for securing the vSphere infrastructure

My instructor was great being able to put scenarios into real world instances that related to my specific situation.
I was made to feel welcome from the moment I arrived and the ability to sit as a group outside the classroom to discuss our situations and our goals was extremely valuable.
I learnt a lot and felt it was important that my goals by attending this course were met.
Great job Lumify Work team.
